Let us pray for our friends, family, and fellow Americans effected by Hurricane Katrina that recently devastated Louisiana and Mississippi. I know many of you are tired of this story already, and I was planning to not write about it. But after seeing a family pulled through the roof of their home I could barely prevent myself from shedding tears.

Not to politicize this tragic event, but something must be said. Were these places not prepared or even neglected because they consist of so many African American Communities? From what I see on the news at least 80% of those effected in this Hurricane are black.
